Concept:The correct conclusion must capture the central idea of the passage — the deep sense of freedom and conquest that mountain climbing gives.
Explanation:Option A is incorrect because the passage does not compare the popularity of mountaineering with football or cricket.
Option B is incorrect because the two prisoners did not climb the mountain to escape; they had already escaped and climbed only to feel freedom.
Option C is too narrow, as the passage focuses on the inner feeling of liberation and achievement rather than just thrill.
Option D is factually unsupported because the passage says nothing about spectators or the popularity of the sport.
Option E exactly matches the central idea — climbing gives a great feeling of both being liberated and conquering.
Answer:Option E — "It is a great feeling of both being liberated and conquering as one feels after climbing a mountain."
